Ok guys, almost finished.I got the rx. mounted in a AE box on the rear of the chassis and made a mount plate out of clear plastic for the esc, switches, and charge jack for the rx battery. Got my Elite 2/3 A 7 cell main pack today, still waiting on Elite 2/3 A 5 cell receiver pack to replace the one on the side of the chassis now. Got the CEN body mounts on, still have to mount body and trim them down. Waiting on Tobee 32 mm wideners to come in the mail. still need to get bearings and axial 2.2 bead locks to replace the ones i have now and I will be done ( till I start upgrading)

Double J, The esc is a Mtroniks Viper ECO20 100% waterproof ,bec rating is 1.2A. Nice esc for the small price ( $32 ) Programmable reverse delay,brake set up, failsafe.
Here are a few more pics, still have some work to do but I had to test it out. Going to have to tinker with shock set up, torquetwist is bad.

If you get a higher BEC on the esc then you don't have to run an RX pack.


Try moving your shocks more vertical. it fixed mine.

I moved the shocks up on hole(more vertical) last night. It is 100% better now. I hope My Tobee wideners get here soon so I can really test it out. Can't do much now, tire rub shocks.
By the way double J ,I love this chassis

Well it is finished for now. wheel base is now 11 1/2", fits bronco better. just have to get my hands on a set of axail 2.2 beadlocks. I love this chassis, it crawles great. It is balanced out pretty good. Main pack is on front axle and reciever pack is on rear axle.
